What this phase means
This study does not use the classic phase 1–4 drug ladder. It may be a device, a behavior program, a surgery timing study, or an early feasibility test.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are OR extubation, or ICU extubation. The registry lists allocation as randomized. We are studying whether waking patients up and removing the breathing tube (also known as "extubation") in the operating room after cardiac surgery improves postoperative recovery without causing harm.
They plan to enroll about 120 people at 2 sites. Taking part typically means a procedure as part of the study plus check-ins.
Official title (unrewritten)
